W. J. Person
1982, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (14) 188-191
The earthquake activity during this reporting period was somewhat quiet as far a significant earthquakes were concerned. There were no major [magnitude (m)=7.0-7.9] earthquakes during this reporting period, but five people were reported killed in Peru from earthquakes on March 24 and 28. A number earthquakes occurred in the United States,...
Earthquakes; January-February 1982
W. J. Person
1982, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (14) 147-151
A number of significant earthquakes occurred in many parts of the world during the first month of this year. The first major earthquake (magnitude 7.0-7.9) of the year was on January 11 in the Philippine Islands. the second major quake, on January 18 in the Aegean Sea, was followed by...
Progress of the seismological program in El Salvador
M. A. Martinez
1982, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (14) 39-43
El Salvador is located in Central America at the axis of geographical coordinates 14° north latitude and 89° west longitude. Situated inside the circumpacific "ring of fire" it is thus vulnerable to sudden earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Since 1520, El Salvador has sustained approximately 40 destructive earthquakes, an average of one...
International geomagnetic reference field 1980: a report by IAGA Division I working group.
N.W. Peddie
1982, Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society (68) 265-268
Describes the recommendations of the working group, which suggested additions to IGRF because of the cumulative effect of the inevitable uncertainties in the secular variation models which had led to unacceptable inaccuracies in the IGRF by the late 1970's. The recommendations were accepted by the International Association of Geomagnetism and...

Food of freshwater drum in western Lake Erie
Michael T. Bur
1982, Journal of Great Lakes Research (8) 672-675
The abundance of freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) suggests they play an important role in the Lake Erie ecosystem. Our analysis of freshwater drum digestive tracts and macrobenthic samples collected from western Lake Erie indicates that drum were selective feeders. Planktonic cladocerans and larval midges (Chironomidae) were the primary prey organisms...
A study of gizzard nematodes and renal coccidiosis in Canada geese (Branta canadensis interior) of the Mississippi Valley population
Benjamin N. Tuggle
1982, Thesis
A total of 309 Mississippi Valley Population Canada geese, Branta canadensis interior, of different sex and age groups was collected from three locations in the Mississippi Flyway from 1979-1981 and examined for gizzard nematodes and renal coccidia. Three species of nematodes were removed from the gizzards, Amidostomum anseris, A. spatulatum,...

Occlusion of the syrinx as a manifestation of aspergillosis in Canada geese
R. K. Stroud, R. M. Duncan
1982, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (181) 1389-1390
Aspergillosis has been described in many species of wild waterfowl, primarily as a disease of the respiratory tract. Typically, mycotic granulomas are found in the lungs. Air sacs may be thickened and contain discoid individual or coalescing greenish or bluish plaques resembling bread mold. Occasionally, there is systemic involvement, with...
Simulated effects of ground-water development on the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer, west-central Florida
W.E. Wilson, J. M. Gerhart
1982, Professional Paper 1217
A digital model of two-dimensional ground-water flow was used to predict changes in the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer, 1976 to 2000, in a 5,938-square-mile area of west-central Florida. In 1975, ground water withdrawn from the Floridan aquifer for irrigation, phosphate mines, other industries, and municipal supplies averaged about...

The objective of this Decade of North American Geology (D-NAG) volume will be to focus on the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin, including the onshore coastal plain, related onshore Triassic-Jurassic rift grabens, and the offshore basins and platforms. Following multiple compressional tectonic episodes between Africa...

A new instrument for sampling flocculent material at the water/sediment interface
Michael H. Bothner, Page C. Valentine
1982, Journal of Sedimentary Research (52) 639-640
We have designed an instrument to collect fine-grained and flocculent material from the water/sediment interface for chemical and mineralogical analysis. The sampler can be used from a manned research submersible or by a diver in shallow water. In areas of active deposition, the material collected represents the most recently deposited...

Recent studies using the extent of racemization of amino acids to date fossil mollusc shells in the Arctic1, the British Isles2 and on the Atlantic3,4 and Pacific5-13 coasts of North America have relied mainly on theoretical kinetic models of racemization. Ages generated in this fashion are highly model dependent and...
